A very rare motto scarab.

I have only ever come across one other example of this scarab in the last ten or more years.

There are two accepted readings for this scarab:

Petrie read it “Establish the city beloved of Amun” but the reading “Amun loves the enduring city” is more likely

Steatite with a mottled blue glaze.

Undercut through the  legs.

Intact

17mm.

Late New Kingdom

Fraser No. 462. Petrie (Buttons) No. 657

From my own collection.
